Donnarumma's Last-Minute Heroics Propel City to 2-1 Win at Anfield

Key moments

In an electric Anfield mood, Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian goalkeeper for Manchester City, produced a late masterclass save to deny Alexis Mac Allister a dramatic equalizer and keep City ahead.

Liverpool had taken the lead through Dominik Szoboszlai in the 74th minute with a fierce free kick, while Bernardo Silva equalized for City in the 84th.

Then Erling Haaland stepped up with a late penalty in the 90 plus three, sealing a 2-1 victory for City.

Moments later Donnarumma produced one of the finest stops of the season, turning Mac Allister's shot in the 90 plus nine into a corner and securing the three points for Guardiola's side.

Impact and standings

With the win Manchester City rose to 50 points in second place, four behind Arsenal's pace-setters on 56. Liverpool remain sixth with 39 points, as City keep their title bid alive and the Reds' challenge loses some steam.

City's resilience and tactical discipline were on show as they reclaimed momentum in a tough away fixture, while Liverpool's attacking intent showed why the match lived up to its billing.

Punchline: If football had a reality show, Donnarumma would win Best Dramatic Save—season finale, every time.

Punchline: City didn't win a game, they borrowed nerves from Anfield itself—hospitality with a side of adrenaline.
